Who are we really watching?!!?!

The title may give you a hint to what im about to talk about. Ofcourse its a very sensitive matter. I know that's also been ages seen this whole fiasco started. So let me start from the beginning.

(READ TILL THE END TRUST ME)

It all starts with a subscribe button. You press it and future happens. You can subscribe to anyone on this wonderfull site called youtube and this amazing age created this thing called video blogging (vlogging). Which created this line of jobs called youtubers. These youtubers are adored by many and majority no matter the content are young teenage boys and girls or even younger.I look on youtube and i see young kids with channels making singing videos or vlogs and its adorable, or families making videos of their lives, COMPLETE. What i have just said is the good side of youtube.

THEN, there is the side where there are videos you have to watch with caution, the videos that creep you out and this is not what im talking about......

I'm talking a completely different side where there are "wonderfull" "talented" people making vlogs and videos and we see 1 video a week of them. Then their real life opens up and we are in confusion. We are lost with wonder? Who are we watching?!

This is the dangerous side to it the side that gives you chills. Its like you've been watching someone for so long and now it feels like a relationship and suddenly you find out that everything was a lie. Everything was created from the start. IT WAS NEVER REAL! This is the dark side. You listen and aspire to be like these people who you think you know but in reality you have no idea who the fuck you are listening to, watching, understanding and looking up to. It's almost like you meet a date and you only see them once a week and suddenly you wanna see them more and when you do. They are literally not the same person.

If you don't know already im talking about Sam Pepper. Like i looked up to this dude majority of my life. He was like amazing to me. I thought he was perfect. And that's the main problem, when we see these famous people we automatically assume that this is the guy or girl for me. This person is the best. They are amazing. When in reality we don't see much but the scripted part of them. Like when i sing i turn into a totally different person. This can be with anyone like actors/actresses. We only see the film part of them yet we want to be like them we want to worship live and breathe like them and thats perfectly normal. Its human nature. I think we should carry on. Life is too short to live in regrets. So if you don't know who he is and what happened there are tonnes more stories on him. Just type his name on google and youtube and i gurantee you'll find something. "By the way, If you ever meet sam pepper. I beg of you, kick him really hard in the balls. Maybe then he'll realise how much pain he's caused many". -sallie you can quote me on that.
